jimw:To say say it in two words - Skyfall sucked. It was simply a long drawn out move designed to say good-by to two of the main characters with some added nostalgia.

Maybe I'm missing something, but who was the 2nd?

This didn't suck. It did take a weird turn with the Bond homestead there at the end, and it seemed they owed Albert Finney a favor by just shoe-horning him in there. But I thought it was a good overall story. It was how about the old-fashioned way of doing things has its advantages over the sleek, newer (and younger) methods to espionage.

And I've not seen all of them, but is this the first one where the villain more or less succeeded in his goals? We saw that he wanted M to shoot them both through the head with the same bullet, so he had no desire to save his own life, unless it was just a taunt. I say he more or less succeeded because M succumbed to her wound.

swaxhog:Screw all you Moonraker haters. I like it better than most Bond films and find it holds up really well compared to most with repeated viewings and age. Some of the Connery movies are hard to watch now with the fake screens, 60's acting style. Likewise the Dalton era was an awful time for movies as a whole. Late 80's bad scripts, bad directing, bad music, bad hair. Just a terrible time to be alive.
